Troubles with OLAP via msmdpump.dll about devextreme HOT 2 CLOSED

Hi @gordon-matt

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this question.

As we say in CONTRIBUTING.md, the best place to submit questions is Support Center. The issue is related to DevExtreme ASP.NET Controls but this repo is only for DevExtreme client-side libraries.

I can't find any instructions for getting msmdpump.dll to work with IIS Express

Is it a requirement to have msmdpump hosted in IIS Express? Xmla().Url() accepts any URLs, not only local ones. You can host the OLAP service in the "big" IIS or on another machine.

Is it possible for you to make this simpler by allowing an alternative to the Url parameter, so that we don't need to use msmdpump.dll?

If I understand correctly, the question is whether it's possible to connect via OleDb or ADOMD libraries instead of HTTP. Technically, it should be possible to introduce a helper class, at least for classic ASP.NET, not sure about .NET Core. We don't have this idea on our Backlog yet, I'll discuss it with the team.

Good point about hosting the DLL elsewhere. I will go ahead and give that a try. In any case, it's a lot of trouble to set that up, when connecting via ADOMD with a connection string would be much less of a headache for those of us who don't have some requirement to connect via msmdpump. Please do add that option if you can. Thanks.
